A change is as good as a rest, so the saying goes. But I find a decent rest will do the job just as well.
I’m back in work after a relaxing 3 week break driving around Europe with the family, and I’m feeling pretty good about things.
Though I have decided to make a few changes, to follow the resting bit.
The first one was to delete Slack from my phone. I got rid of it before I went away, but I won’t be putting it back on. I’d been using it like another social media platform, and found myself absentmindedly checking it at all hours of the day. Work now starts when I arrive and leave the office – not on the train, or when I’m getting ready to leave the house, or when I’m supposed to be getting the kids ready for bed.
Work-life balance. It’s important, and I need to remember that. Always.
The other thing I’m changing, is, well, this. Blogging.
I’ve not written about my work, mainly because I wasn’t sure what I could say, but also because I thought I was too busy to do it. But it’s all about finding the time. And the time will be found, and I hope people find it useful.
My first weeknote will follow on Friday, so stay tuned.
